STOP AND WASTE COCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 607,865, dated July 26, 1898.

Application filed November S0. 1897. Serial No. 660,317. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT L. LAMBERT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stop and Waste Cocks7 of which I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in' the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements inV stop and waste cocks; and the objects of the invention are to provide means for producing a right or left hand cock adapted to waste at each extremity of the throw when closed and at the same time provided with concealed stops, whereby clogging from accumulations of dirt is avoided.

My invention consists in the annularly-recessed body and cap provided with depending lug and in the details o f construction and combination and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure' l is a vertical transverse section of the cock. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same with cap removed. Fig. 3 is a bottom View of cap, and Fig. 4 a side View of cap and upper portion of body.

In the views, l is the body of the cock; 2, the taper-plug provided with opening 3 and Waste-opening 4.

5 is the Waste-opening for the body of the cock.

6 is the stem of the taper-plug, which is squared to receive the cap?. The squared portion of the stem extends only about halfway into lthe cap, the remaining portion vof the opening being filled by the squared stem 8 of the cock-handle 9. Set-screws l0 and l1 serve to secure the squared stems to the cap, so that different portions of the cock will not fall apart when it is handled.

upon the cap. It will be seen that .the cap will have just a quarter-revolution, which is the distance the lug will travel in .the recess before striking the terminal wall at either end.

It will also be apparent that the plug can be turned into right or left hand by setting the screws upon one or the other of the corners of the rectangular stern. The quarterstroke will be sufficient to either open the cock or close the cock and open the wasteoutlets, the right and left movements being merely the reverse of each other. j,

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a right and left hand cock the combination with a plug, provided with inlet and waste passages, and asquare'stem of a body, provided With similar passages and a taper bore to receive the plug--a cap provided with a rectangular opening in which said stem and the stem of the handle are inserted, set-screws whereby the said stems can be adjustablysecured in the cap, a semicircular recess in the upper face of the body of the cock, inclosed .by the vertical and horizontal walls of projecting lip, and a depending lug a quarter of a circle in width engaging said recess, substantially as described.
